Red line on every photo taken with Nikon D40

\015 Recently I noticed a fine red line near the bottom left corner of every photo taken with my 2 year old Nikon D40. I took it to Nikon (Malaysia) and they wanted RM750 to replace the CCD. I told them to go fly @#%, for RM750, I can probably get a new body. When I took back my D40, they kept my non refundable RM20 deposit. Lesson # 1. Never send your Nikon back to them after the warranty period. Lesson # 2. Think twice before buying a Nikon.\015\012\015\012What I did with my D40 ?- Nothing. I can live with the red line for the time being. Probably, give it away to some kid later and get a Canon or Olympus or Pantex or even Sony but not another Nikon.\015

Answers :

And your question was? \015\012\015\012A new CCD for £128 - that is a total bargain. If you think you can buy a camera half as good as the D40 for RM750 you are deluded... although I agree that the CCD shouldn't have gone in such a short time - I would guess that Nikon UK would have repaired it on good faith - as long as the camera was obviously in otherwise good condition.

Picture error I have an Olympus SP-51OUZ camera. Nearly every photo I take, when reviewed, comes up with 'picture error' and a big warning exclamation mark (in red on a blue background). Only about 1 in 20 photos taken are ok. I have formatted the card but it still happens. When I used the card on my laptop it scanned it & said there were no problems with it. Obviously it's a nightmare because I have to review every single photo to check it has come out! Please help! Rachel

If you have a combo media-reader, put the xD card in that and connect it to computer. Copy all images through the reader. Then format the xD card. Now it should work okay. ...

I have a Nikon D80...On every photo I take there is a very thin, very light line all the way across the image..I have tried 3 different lens on this body thinking it might be the lens but every lens still has the line...so I am positive it is the camera body itself..what is this?

Blurry/strippy photos I just got to Bilbao in Spain doing a photographic research project but every time and try and take a photo and view it comes out strippy with lots of little lines really close together and interspersed with a couple of fat ones too!! I've taken it to some photo shops today but there is apparently no camera repair places as such in the whole city! My spanish isn't the best but some of the assistants seemed to think it's the focus. When I take the photo as well it seems to

Black Photos I have a Nikon D40 that suddenly has started taking black photos, when viewing the image on playback they are black. The shutter is working and the camera THINKS its taken a photo, but nothing has been recorded.

Black spot on photos taken by nikon d40

Nikon D40 pictures taken but too dark even in AUTO mode with flash on a bright day. also, some days ago I had the Shutter release error message while taking some photos. After that, the camera is acting weird, pictures sometimes are taken but the picture is always dark, although flash is used and AUTO mode selected. I do not see the error message anymore, but the camera simply do not take pictures properly. I tried formatting, etc with no result.

Fuzzy Images Hello! Hi have the NIKON CooPix S7C. I would so appreciate some help. Majority of images I shoot are fuzzy if photo taken indoors. I have tried every white balance setting, and nothing helps. I have experimented with almost all settings and still can't seem to get clear, sharp images unless I am shooting outside on a sunny day, or in a room with a lot of sunlight. How can I fix this? My baby is 10 months old now...and the majority of his photos are fuzzy...I hate that I am not captu

Nikon L10 has developed a flickering screen overlay (zoning lines or actions such as alter flash priority) When trying to close off the menu overlay a section of it remains and obscures the view from the lens. When a photo CAN be taken the image stays on the screen until the camera is forcibly shut down. The photo IS saved but all this makes a helluva nuisance to use.

A85 camera LCD shows up with pink and black lines every time a picture is taken. LCD screen displays the camera icons on LCD screen but will not take anymore photo's. Lens used to view picture status prior to photo shot but now, it consistently shows up in black. When a picture is shot, the screen then turns pink and black on the LCD screen.

This sounds like it might be a defective CCD imager. If so, Canon should fix this for you for free, including free shipping both ways. This is regardless of your camera's warranty status. ...

My Nikon Coolpix 4600 will take 1 photo, then refuses to take anymore unless it's turned off and then turned back on. When first turned on the flash and AF LEDs go on. After 1 photo is taken, the flash and AF LEDs won't come on. Pressing the shutter release does nothing. There are no alerts or other red indicators on the screen. The batteries are new.

I visited a brick-and-mortar camera store and asked a repair specialist. There I learned that the problem with my camera is a firmware problem and not worth fixing. I'll throw away the camera and buy another $150 disposable camera. ...

I have small, fuzzy, gray spot in the same place on every photo. Nikon D40.

My Nikon D40 LCD Screen doesn't show a live view when on, but it does show menu options, photos taken, etc. Do you have any thoughts on how to see a live pic, instead of taking pics only with view finder?

When I look at a picture from my D60, a thin red vertical line appears from about the middle of the photo down to the bottom in every picture. I swapped lenses and it still appears, so I think it's in the camera itself??? Any idea what would cause this, and if it can be fixed? Thank you!

In this condition, the problem might be caused by:-material such as thin soft fabric, hair, or dust that entered and glued on your sensor, you can use a blower to bring it out of the body-the sensor was broken due to hard impact or fall d ...

Nikon CoolPix S500 shows colored lines on lcd and in photos where the lights are bright. I have restored settings tried using it with no flash, soft flash, and auto flash and the problem continues. Noticed the lines on the lcd over a year ago and it has progressed to brightly lit photos also now. In some photos lighter colors also show up with the lines. ie. My daughters blonde hair in the light looks almost transparent with all the lines running through it.
Is this a lens problem?

Photos taken now not visible on memory card.
I'm currently on vacation and have been taking photos on my DMC-TZ5. Camera has been working fine, until yesterday.
I took a number of photos of a particularly memorable day when none of the group had a camera with them. Every time a photo was taken the image was displayed for a second before being able to take another shot. A number of times I went back to check the photos, each time the photo was visible.
